help, leg repair

Can anyone tell me how to fix my table leg? It was secured with a 'lag' stud down the middle, and it's pulled out. It's fairly soft wood, pine? I don't want to go to a bigger stud, is there any kind of epoxy that would hold?

Thanks, terry

Hi, Terry,

I suggest you pay a visit to rec.woodworking. Lots of helpful people there.

Jim, Thanks for the advice as well, where to go when repairing furniture. I restore old furniture every now & then for other people but, I also have old furniture I use for home use as well. Next time my old 30s kitchen table & chairs need help I go there. Got them back together for now but, don't know when they will wear down again.

The repair, as I said to Terry in an earlier post, wouldn't need anything fancy to repair it, certainly not a repair kit for $ 4.95 plus shipping , just 10 cents worth of dowel, 2 cents worth of glue and you would have a professional quality repair.

Thanks, Mike. I have put your instructions in my little bag of tricks to pull out when I need it. Man, I love this group!
